LITERARY NOTES.

Halt Hours WIth american Hiseory, by
| Charles Morris is book that fills q long
felt want. Mr.. Morris is we'll known as
the author of "a Manual Of Classical
Literature" and HALF Hours with the
best American Authors" A fluent and
easy writer himself, he possesses that GIT
so often lacking TO famous authors, the
capacity to appreciate and enjoy the good
sayings OF other men. This power Is clearly
manifest III the present work. The epoehs
of American history treated are among the
most important and at the same time the
most obscure The author has been con-
tent to pass over lightly the well worn and
hackneyed passages so familiar to every
school boy. His well chosen extracts throw
food of light upon the darkest places,
and reveal many of the hitherto concealed
secrets of the formation and growth OF the
country. Among the authors quoted are
such well known names as Steele, Coming
ton, Batta, Losing, Irving, Sparks, Ban
croft, Parkman, Cooper, Everett, and host
of others whose labors have done so much
to enrich and illumine the pages Of Amerl-
can history. The author has done his
work we'll and deserves the thanks OF
every true lover of American historical
literature. In two volumes, j. 3. Lippen-

A Spectator IN PetticOdtS, by the cele-
brated French novelist, Hector MalOt, Is
in press for immediate publication, by L.
B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, and
it is one of the most remarkable books OF
the day. The heroine, Madame Fourcy,
belongs to class of spectators which the
last Empire made no uncommon one IN
Paris. Her cool head, her beauty and
ability, her utter lack of principle, and
the cOld.blooded manner in which she
sacrifices her lover, who worships her, but
whom she has used as mere tool, Is adj
mirably told. Fourcy himself wins our
admiration; his quick sense of honor, his
keen sense of right and wrong, his faith III
his wife and devotion to his family are de-
picted with pathetic power. The scene in
which he discovers his wife's infdelity, is
one that ought to be seen on the stage as
we'll as read. The plot is skillfully man
aged, and its ingenuity is quite worthy OF
GabOriau, and, as in his books, detec-
tive figures largely, and brings out the
final consummation. 1t will be issued in
large duodecimO volume, price 10 cents.

The Phenlx Gazette gets off the following on Editor Birt, who formerly published the Advance at Lordsburg: Subscribers of the Advance complain bitterly about the new collector Birt has engaged to bring delinquents to the just sense of their responsibilities. This individual is SIX feet eight inches in height and weighs four hundred pounds and woe betide the humble subscriber who re- fuses to pay up or the unhappy individual who has neglected to take the Advance. Some ill-na- tured person asserts that he is one of Birt's poor relations who has been brought from Arkansas to bulldoze this peaceful con- munity, or murder the city coun- cil. At any rate this giant has made a splendid record; he has been in the harness four days and has obtained by some process, best known to himself, twenty-eight subscribers, knocked down six men, scared the life nearly out of eight women, collected SS4 oi hopeless debts and is still on the war path. Very little 'pursua- sion on the part of this thrashing machine changes the mind of the man who says stop my paper. The Gazette has oceans of pool relatives but no persuaders o: this giant type, but if one happens this way he can consider himself engaged for all time."

The western Settlers Chosen Spe-
 cifsc

cific,
 With every advance of emigration into the far West, new demand is created for Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters. Newly peopled regions are fre- quently less salubrious than older settled localities, on account of the miasma which rises from recently cleared land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are subject to freshets. The agricultural or mining emigrant soon learns, when he does not already know, that the Bitters afford the only sure protection against malaria, and those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, to which climate changes, exposure, and un- accustomed or unhealthy water or diet subject him. Consequently, he places an estimate upon this great household specific and preventive commensurate with its intrinsic mer- its, and is careful to keep on hand a restorative and promoter Of health so implicitly to be relied upon in time of need.

CARLISLE.
Improvements Being Madeline e to Re Furnished by the Arizona Copper Company

Improvements Being Made-Lime e
 to Be Furnished by the Arizona
 Copper Company
 It would seem that it required foreigners to develope the re- sources of this section of the country when any considerable outlay of money is required. As proof of this assertion it is not only necessary to call attention to the vast improvements and conse- quent large outlay of capital by our own Scotch company, but an- other example may be mentioned in the case of the English syndi- cate owning the Carlisle mines. Ever since assuming control of this property they have been en- gagged in improvements on large scale. And now, after putting in large number of additional stamps, mention of which has heretofore been made, they are now engaged in the erection of a smelter, which will be in operation probably early in January, and it is rumored and expected that others will follow. Carlisle cer- tainly promises to be the most permanent and fourishing camp in New Mexico.
 A contract has been entered in to by the Carlisle company with the Arizona Copper company here for the supply of 1000 tons of limestone. The latter company has almost completed bin for the transfer of the stone from the Coronado railway to the Arizona and New Mexico road, and the Carlisle company are erecting platform at Duncan for the trans fer of limestone, coke, etc, from the cars of the railroad to the wagons of O. R. Smythe, who has the contract to haul from that point to Carlisle. This platform will be substantially built and will cost about S1500.
 While the Carlisle company was under the management of the late Colonel James a reward was of fered to anyone finding good limestone in quantity in that vi cinity, and we believe Mir. Long maid, the present superintendent, offers the same inducements, but so far without avail.
 The first shipment of limestone from here will be in a few days. It is quarried from near the De troit mine and is of most supe- rior quality, those qualified to judge pronouncing it fully equal to any found in the United States, or the world, for that matter. It contains but about ? per cent of silica, running from 97 to 9S per cent pure carbonate.

BONANZA CAMP.
What Visitor Thinks of the
 New Gold Strike.

New GOIu Strike.
 EDITOR CLARION: I claim a small space in your valuable paper for the benefit of those who desire to know something of the mineral wealth of that section of Graham county lying between the Frisco and Eagle rivers. The writer has just returned from an extended visit to the Bonanza camp, which is situated about five miles west of Morenci and about one mile and half easterly from Eagle river, and which embraces a sec ton of country extending from Gold Gulch to the Eagle.
 Colonel Ingram and others own valuable properties and have long known of the richness of the lodges near Gold Gulch, but Messrs. Campbell and Muir are the pioneers of Bonanza camp and have located in that immedi- ate vicinity valuable gold proper ties, and are now engaged in sacking ore for shipment. They have generously invited all others to come and share with them the lodges of rich quartz in the sur rounding hills; hence the camp is rapidly filling up with such gentle men and prospectors as Thomp- son, Hickey, McCarty, Moore, Reed, Swallow and Harvey. Be- sides, there are some Mexicans in camp who have valuable proper ties and who seem determined to develop them.
 While the writer is not a miner, a prophet LOT an expert, he still thinks the camp is most properly named the "Bonanza camp" It does noes not require an expert to dig out quartz from the ledge and pan out the gold; and from actual tests by the banning process it is certainly belt of country of great wealth. Besides, wood and water are plenty. The heart of this great mineral belt lies within two miles of Eagle river, and with the down grade wagon road could be made which would afford easy transportation to the river from both Bonanza camp and Gold Gulch. The establishment of mill ing and reduction works on the banks of the stream for the treat ment of the ores from these dis tricts, l believe, would make 1t one of the most important camps in the West. The ore seems to be free milling and principally gold; but prospectors can hardly afford to pack the ore on burrors ten miles and then ship it out of the territory.
 Bonanza camp is certainly an inviting field for men of capital and mining experience, and those who come first and help make the camp a success certainly have greater opportunities to accumu- late wealth and be richly reward ed than those who afterward follow. P. NJ. THURMoND.
